Thursday 14th July.
Hi all, lovely walk along the Breydon wall today, thanks to Jules, Carol and Lynn and Phil for joining us!!
Started out from Haven bridge, walked along the Angles Way through the 
edge of Cobholm between houses and the riverside, across a grassy area 
and past an old sail loft, and up onto the embankment or Breydon Wall, 
walked under Breydon Bridge, once away from the bridge the sights and 
sounds of Breydon were all around, Oyster Catchers plaintive call, Whimbrell
 high purring call,smell of seaweed, and the water lapping against the 
shore, the odd cruiser puttering past, even on a sunny day the wind in 
places could be a bit chill, but truly beautiful,  views across Breydon 
with some birds feeding on the mud flats,  slightly exposed by low tide,
 and behind us green fields and meadows, with Highland cattle and ponies
 in the distance, swifts and swallows were swooping low feeding off 
insects, Skylarks were trilling to each other high above us, we saw 
oyster Catchers, Whimbrel, Curlew, Redshank, a treat on the way back saw
 a Redshank with fluffy chick, (looking forward to Lynns and Jules 
photos!!) We saw Little Egrets, shining white with their tufty heads 
looking like something from the African Plains.
 We stopped for a 
picnic behind a Blackberry bush rested a while watching the Swallows and
 Swifts catching insect above the Meadows.
 Out of the wind were lots
 of Blue Tail Damselflies, we saw Brown Hawker Dragonflies, plenty of 
Small White, Large White, Meadow Brown, and a couple of Small 
Tortoiseshell Butterflies,.
 Not realising how far we had come, we 
realised we had to turn back reluctantly, and make our way back, all in 
all a lovely day, saw lots of nature, with lovely company thankyou!!!.
 Discussing our next walk, maybe a bus trip to Potter Heigham, and 
making our way to Hickling round the back paths.
